Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM'S REPORT |
|
Board of Directors |
|
Castleguard Energy, Inc. |
|
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Castleguard Energy, Inc. as of September 30, 2004, and the related statements of income, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. |
|
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. A review of interim financial information consists principally of analytical procedures applied to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. |
|
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. |

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices |
|
|
(a) |
Description of Business |
|
Castleguard Energy, Inc. (the "Company") is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration for and the acquisition, development and exploitation of crude oil and natural gas properties, and in the production of crude oil and natural gas in North America through working interests operated by other parties. The Company's activities are conducted in the states of Louisiana, Texas and Alabama. The Company's corporate offices are located in Dallas, Texas. |
|
|
(b) |
Basis of Presentation |
|
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B. They do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. |
|
|
(c) |
Net Income per Weighted Average Share |
|
Basic net income per weighted average share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. |
|
|
(d) |
Oil and Gas Sales |
|
Petroleum and natural gas sales are recognized upon delivery to the metered point upstream of the pipeline connection. |
|
|
Note 2 - Long-Term Debt |
|
In October 2003, the Company entered into a revised debt agreement with a commercial bank. The agreement provides for a $2,000,000 term note with an initial borrowing base of $322,333 which is reduced at the rate of $21,667 per month. Principal payments of $21,667 per month are due when the amounts outstanding on this note exceed the borrowing base. At September 30, 2004, the borrowing base was less than the outstanding note balance. Interest is payable monthly at the bank's prime rate (4.0% at September 30, 2004) plus .75 percent. The note is collateralized by all of the Company's oil and gas properties. Debt covenants restrict other debt, pledge of assets, sales of assets, payment of dividends, mergers and changes in ownership. |
|
In March 2004, June 2004 and August 2004, the Company extended until October 2004 the due date of principal payments which were required by the agreement and reduced such payments to $7,500 monthly, plus interest, until December 2005, when they will increase to $10,000 monthly, plus interest. |

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL |
|
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB includes "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27a of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and section 21e of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "exchange act"). Specifically, all statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding Castleguard Energy Inc.'s financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management of the Company for future operations are forward- looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company's management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company's management. When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and "intend" and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to the Company or Company management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to certain factors including, without limitation, price levels for oil and natural gas, concentration of oil and natural gas reserves and production, drilling risks, uncertainty of oil and gas reserves, risks associated with the development of additional revenues and with the acquisition of oil and gas properties and other energy assets, operating hazards and uninsured risks, general economic conditions, governmental regulation, changes in industry practices, marketing risks, one time events and other factors described herein ("cautionary statements"). Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Based upon changing conditions, should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. The Company does not intend to update these forward- looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward- looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary statements. Reference is made to disclosure regarding "Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements" included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference. |
|
The Company is an independent oil and gas exploration company whose strategic focus is the application of advanced seismic imaging and computer-aided exploration technologies in the systematic search for commercial hydrocarbon reserves, primarily in the states of Texas and Louisiana. The Company attempts to leverage its technical experience and expertise with seismic technology to identify exploration and exploitation projects with significant potential economic return. The company intends to participate in selected exploration projects as a non-operating, working interest owner, sharing both risk and rewards with its partners. The Company has and will continue to pursue exploration opportunities in regions where the Company believes significant opportunity for discovery of oil and gas exists. By reducing drilling risk through seismic technology, the Company seeks to improve the expected return on investment in its oil and gas exploration projects. The Company attempts to limit capital requirements by forming industry alliances and exchanges a portion of its interest for cash and/or a carried interest in its exploration projects. |
|
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
|
Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2004 vs. 2003 |
|
Third quarter 2004 (this year) net income rose 86% to $31,304 ($.00 per share) from $16,815 ($.00 per share) in the third quarter of 2003 (last year) as the result of higher prices for natural gas and crude oil, slightly offset by lower oil volumes. Natural gas sales volumes were 14,057 mcf this year versus 14,151 mcf last year and oil production declined 403 barrels to 497 barrels. |
|
-9- |
|
Total expenses declined 19% following the decline in volumes of oil, including and reflecting a continuation of management's efforts to minimize overhead costs. |
|
Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2004 vs. 2003 |
|
Nine months net income 2004 (this year) of $54,421 was 48% lower compared to last years of $103,965 as a result of lower volumes of hydrocarbons produced and sold, slightly offset by higher prices for oil. |
|
Gas volumes this year were 35,077 mcf down from 53,096 mcf last year. Oil volumes declined from 3,095 barrels in the first nine months of last year to 1,730 barrels this year. Prices for oil were 24% higher this year versus last but gas prices were essentially unchanged. Average natural gas prices were $5.95 per mcf compared to $5.96 per mcf last year; average oil prices of $29.73 per barrel last year rose to $36.91 per barrel this year. |
|
Operating expenses followed the down trend in production volumes and declined compared to last year. General and administrative was lower by 16% and interest cost was down 17% compared to last year from a combination of rates and debt balances. |
|
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES |
|
Cash flow from operations for the first nine months of 2004 produced approximately $81,000 in cash flow after changes in working capital and another $80,000 was generated by borrowings against the Company's debt arrangement. Cash generated was used for costs of a new well and workovers of existing producing wells. The company has entered into an agreement with its lender to extend the time for principal reductions on its debt. Reductions of $7,500 per month will be made beginning October 1, 2004. Future cash flow from existing producing wells will influence the direction of future financings and any further new activities by the Company. |
|
